keiths - cant imagine paying $350 for a current generation console. i wanted too, but just couldnt do it

It's pretty simple. If you want to play Nintendo's games you buy the Nintendo system. That's the way it's been in the post-SNES world. If you want the best next gen experience you buy from the other guys.

Got mine and set it up, took more time then expected due to updates. Haven't actually played a game on it let. Seems very underwhelming so far. This is coming from a big Nintendo fan, of course my life is a big fuckup right now, so that my have something to do with it

lol, yes, the DC metro area is a rather good barometer I'd imagine. My point is that this is literally the only console of the last two gens that it was possible to just walk in and buy for me. The others were nightmares of camping out and pre-orders. It took me months before I could find a 360 and I only got a PS2 at launch because I had waited in line for a pre-order.

"I live in the Toronto area and all the major retailers are sold out from what I've seen/read, with only a few still selling the basic Wii-U bundle which isn't that popular."

A quick search on Walmart shows both bundles In-Stock at ALL of the first four stores in Toronto and surrounding area.

Props on being such a staunch Nintendo defender that you spoke confidently about its availability in your own town in defiance of facts, and insulted my zip code -- which is laughable not just in itself, but also because this is #10 on the list of the wealthiest counties in the country.

So, basically, you came off as a ridiculous douche and console fanboy while ALSO being 100% wrong on all points.

I was initially excited when I went on store locators and they had "in stock", but you will quickly find out the ones that are in stock are ones that were bought as pre orders and just have not been picked up yet. So you are wrong, fool.

If you check on ebay they are selling for $500-$550. The law of supply and demand dictates this wouldn't be the case if they were as easily accessible as you say.

Well, I'm not going to the stores to check, and your experience may not apply everywhere on the continent. In fact you can buy a bundle -- Wii U plus one game -- online at Walmart.com, "in stock" right now: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Wii-U-Gamer-Bundle-w-Customer-Choice-Wii-U-Game/21803986

I see stuff on ebay all the time for higher price than it is on Amazon. People are stupid.
